A high school sophomore at Monarch High School in Broward County, Florida was arrested late last week after a video of her allegedly beating a fellow classmate went viral.
The incident, which happened on November 9, “shows two girls exchanging words before one of them repeatedly punches the other, pulls her hair and slams her head down on a classroom desk as dozens of students watch,” WPLG Local 10 News reported.

Here is part 1 of the brutal fight at @browardschools.
The Promise program implemented by Obama & supported by @RobertwRuncie has allowed kids to go undetected/unpunished in the school system.
These diversionary programs led to the murder of my daughter and 16 other kids. pic.twitter.com/3BlbFTYTD0

Broward schools @RobertwRuncie allowed this girl to get a civil citation only! Watch this attack.
The Promise program implemented by the Obama admin allows schools to apply lighter punishments & conceal incidents like this.
This is not acceptable. #accountability #FixIT pic.twitter.com/hb9N3rv1d8

The 15-year-old suspect was reportedly issued a civil citation and was not criminally charged because Broward County adopted the PROMISE program, which is an Obama-era program that seeks to significantly lower punishments for crimes committed by students.
The suspect was arrested nearly a full week later on November 15, after Andrew Pollack, who lost his daughter in the tragic Parkland shooting earlier this year, shared the video on social media and turned it over to Coconut Creek Police and not the Broward Sheriff’s Office. – READ MORE
